Set into the original foundations of Inca buildings in the old centre of Cusco, Peru.
What’s behind them is unknown to me.

Pablo Seminario, Artist
The studio of Pablo Seminario is in Urubamba, a town of about 8000 people in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We were privileged to visit with the artist at his home, shop and studio where he took the time to meet us and describe his approach to the art that he produces.
Ceramic items produced in his studio/workshop by staff are also on sale in his small store on the site.
These days, I am drinking my morning coffee from one of his uniquely decorated mugs.

Weaving
Fabrics were made by the Incas on rudimentary looms. The process is quite slow and deliberate.
The patience required is admirable.
Back then, time was in abundance.

Passageway
Getting from room to room inside one of the structures in Machu Picchu.
Each individual block is shaped to fit precisely. There is no mortar holding them in place.
Quite remarkable as the Incas used no draft animals, iron tools, or wheels.

Safe Place for Storage
On the tip of the rock are terraces and buildings for storing grain.
One can sign up to take the trail to the top. A limited number of people per day get to do this. (Although too small to see in this small format, there are people up there.) There is no chairlift.
We took a pass.

Long Way Down
We are a long way above the river in the valley.
Machu Picchu is almost on the top of the world.

Old Mountain Town
Books have been published. Articles written. This place is worth the trip.
This photograph has been made a million times by others.
To resist making one for myself was futile!
